"english": "Who shall find a wife of excellence possessing all the traits below? Her worth far exceeds the costliest jewels. Her husband's heart relies on her to manage all things. Having no cause for worry, he is free to do his labor, and he shall not lose out on any commercial profit. Throughout the days of her life, she deals well with him; she does good deeds for him and never bad deeds. She goes forth to seek flax and wool to sew garments, and she works at it gladly, with her hands. She resembles a merchant's ships, for she brings her food from distant places. She rises while it is yet nighttime, before the sun has risen, and provides food to her household and assigns jobs to her maids. She contemplates buying a field due to its great worth and then purchases it at once. From the proceeds she obtains for the labor of her hands, she plants a vineyard. She conquers weariness with strength, girds on her clothing—and flexes her arms as she readies for labor.1 When she sees that her labor is good and she can profit from it, she remains awake all night to labor; her lamp will not be extinguished all night. She sets her hands on a spindle (an implement that spins wool into thread) and her palms grasp a distaff (an implement keeping wool steady as it is spun). By these implements, she fashions clothing for her household. She stretches forth her hand offering coin to the poor and reaches out her hands offering coin to the needy too ashamed to request it. She does not fear that her household will be cold from snow in winter, for her whole household is clad in warm, colored garments. She fashions for herself beautiful material; she wears",

"english": "beautiful clothing woven of linen so fine and wool of purple. Her husband stands renowned among the notable people who assemble at the gates,2 when he sits among the elders of the land. She fashions bed-linen for others and sells them; she furnishes belts to the merchants. Her garments are lovely and durable,3 and she is sure she will be glad in her latter days, when she grows old. She opens her mouth in wisdom, and teachings of kindness are ever on her tongue. She oversees the conduct of her household and sees that they walk in the path of Torah. She does not linger long to eat her bread; she is not lazy.4 Her children arise and laud her. Her husband lauds her with these compliments: Many daughters have accomplished excellent things, yet you far surpass them all. Charm deceives, and beauty is little to be valued, yet a woman fearing the Lord is worthy of being praised. The father instructs his children to laud their mother for her deeds. The notable people seated at the gates will praise her for all she has done.",
